The official disclosures expose Havana’s direct role in Nicolás Maduro’s security apparatus.

Overview

  • Cuba published the names and photos of 32 personnel from the Interior Ministry and Revolutionary Armed Forces who died during the U.S. raid, and declared two days of national mourning.
  • Venezuela’s armed forces released funeral notices for 23 fallen service members, including five admirals, sixteen sergeants and two soldiers from units defending the government.
  • The official military toll stands at 55 deaths across both countries, while higher overall casualty estimates reported by some outlets have not been independently verified.
  • Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are in U.S. custody and appeared in a New York court on narcoterrorism-related charges, where they pleaded not guilty.
